I have declined to forward this message to
socialcredit@elistas.com subscribers, nor allow it to
be included within its archives in its present form.
I invite you to resubmit it with citation to
verifiable sources for these two assertions:
1. That US home equity is "lower than it's been in
decades"; and
2. That for Taiwan the percentage is "80%" and there
people "pay with cash, they don't borrow."

More precisely, that's both people paying off
mortgages and people who already have. However,
overall in the US, home equity - which is really land
equity, and which is really a social value, not an
individual one - is lower than it's been in decades.
In Taiwan, the percent is 80% and there people pay
with cash, they don't borrow.
